Design And Modeling for Computer Experiments

This book provides comprehensive information, both for clinicians and scientists, on the basic mechanisms, clinical features, and therapeutic approaches to epilepsy as an inflammatory disease. Inflammation has been for many years considered as an etiologic player (and a therapeutic target) for a specific group of epilepsies. However, it turns out that this concept underestimated the impact of inflammation in seizure disorders. Many accepted therapies for non-inflammatory epilepsies act in part as an inflammatory drug. The CNS actively responds to acute immune challenges by altering body temperature, stimulating the HPA axis, as well as up- and down-regulating specific sympathetic pathways.

These two books cover the most significant recent advances in oncological molecular imaging, from methods and preclinical research to clinical practice. The first book is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on standardized and emerging technologies, as well as probe designs for various imaging modalities, including advanced X-ray imaging, CT, MRI, SPECT, total body PET, ultrasound, optical imaging, optoacoustic imaging, and probes for these modalities. The section also covers artificial intelligence in radiomics. The second section focuses on preclinical applications, including advanced microscopy in animal imaging. The second book presents various clinical applications of molecular imaging and related imaging features. The first section of the second book discusses the crucial, emerging role of molecular imaging in planning and monitoring oncological therapies and future challenges and prospects in multimodality imaging. The second section discusses radiotherapy appro
